A context point is a specific tool node you mark as the target for a Player view. No matter which tool node you select, the view always displays that context point.

Context points are especially useful when you want to see how changes to a tool node that precedes the node with context points affect the context point. You can have the Player view display the output from a context point. You can set a maximum of four context points.

You set a context point in the Schematic view—see Working with Schematic. You use Player options to set the target for a Player view to a context point—see Setting the Target for the Player.
